my dad is south african, and when i was younger we used to go there every christmas to visit my family. back when tanning at a beach wasn’t my MO on tropical soil, i used to hit the arcades with my lil sis all the time. anyone who knows me knows i have the dancing aptitude of robin thicke on meth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojAyFFfO2Po watch this to undersand…) but i used to love those dance revolution machines and i could sit there for hours watching people compete without getting bored. the most popular track people would choose was “butterfly” by smile.dk. little did i know that some 12 years later, id be front row at the creators project watching these fucking insane afrikaans pseudo-rappers sample the song to an audience that was as close to a moshpit as a free slipknot show at south street seaport.
